The first ever Harbor Classic Weekend officially kicked off Saturday August 31st at the Grays Harbor Raceway. A good car count was on hand for all four classes in attendance. The Northwest Extreme Late Model Series was back in action along with the Shipwreck Beads IMCA Modifieds, Cut Rate Auto Parts Street Stocks, and USAC Ford Focus Midgets.

Greg Walters, of Banks, Oregon, was dominant in his T&G Trucking/American Landscaping #97 Victory Circle in the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series main event. Earning the lead on lap four he would set a rapid pace and build a huge lead. Walters couldn’t quite get to lapped traffic due to caution flag periods but on the restarts he would be able to rebuild a massive gap between himself and second place.

Nonetheless Walters would cruise to the victory marking his sixth with the series this year and his second career triumph at GHR with the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series. Walters has now become the third different winner in three different races with the tour in 2013 when the have visited the famed 3/8-mile clay oval.

Collen Winebarger of Corbett, Oregon would finish in the runner-up spot chauffeuring his Discount Race Car Parts/All In Property Investments/Hillsboro Vac & Sew #1 MasterSbilt followed by Vancouver’s Jerry Schram who would place third in the Schram Brothers Excavating/Century III Stables/BDR Racing #16 MasterSbilt. Local favorite Joe German from Wishkah would place fourth in the Ozman Services Inc./CCS Industrial Services #75X Rayburn for car owner Phil Vinson while completing the top five in fifth would be the Myers Racing/Baxter's Auto Parts/Powell Motors #9 Rayburn of Salem, Oregon’s Jacob Myers.

In the Shipwreck Beads IMCA Modifieds it was a giant slaying come feature time. After receiving the lead on lap twelve the Forever Powdercoating/Advanced Auto Services/Fusion Graphix #6M Jet of Alan Muenchow from Shelton would hold on to the lead to pick up the victory. For Muenchow it was his first career win at Grays Harbor Raceway and there were all smiles in victory lane as they celebrated.

Joe German, doing double duty, was second in his Wishkah Iron Works/Ozman Services Inc./Powertrain Application #75X Skyrocket while behind him in third was Sprint Car regular Reece Goetz of Snohomish driving the Jerry Schram owned Schram Brothers Excavating/Century III Stables/BDR Racing #16 mount. The balance of the top five finishers would consist of the Sweatman Trucking/Ewing Engines/D&D Dyno #11 Shaw of Tom Sweatman from Cosmopolis in fourth and the Blue Bear Park/Blondie’s Restaurant #26 Shaw of Shelton’s Scott Miller in fifth.

The Cut Rate Auto Parts Street Stocks had a thriller of a main event. Jack Parshall and Jason Tole would put on a terrific battle as both drivers were looking to put their machines back in the winner’s circle. Parshall, of Hoquiam in his Jacknut Apparel/C&K Machine #9 Camaro, would lead the vast majority of laps before losing it in lapped traffic on the twentieth circuit.

The lead would be taken over by another Hoquiam driver, Jason Tole. Tole would stay out in front for the remainder of the distance to win the main event. For Tole it would be the seventh time in 2013 that he has parked his Western Washington Construction/Crowell Brothers Automotive #34 entry in victory lane at GHR.

Parshall would finish a respectable second followed by the Sweatman Trucking/D&D Automotive/Ewing Engines #11 machine of Cory Sweatman out of Cosmopolis. Ending the night in fourth place would be Olympia’s Eddie Blood in his Eddie's Automotive/Fusion Graphix #97 Malibu while crossing the stripe in fifth was the Custom Fiberglass/Conger Racing #13XXX of Wishkah’s Don Briggs Jr.

Last but not least the USAC Ford Focus Midgets were in the house. Chase Goetz of Snohomish was very quick as he would seize the initial lead of the main event and dominate the competition. Goetz would win the feature making it the sixth in 2013 that the Great Western Transport/Elma Lanes #91 Beast has paid a visit to the winner’s circle at Grays Harbor.

The Olson Landscaping/Martelli Distributing #14 Beast of McCleary’s Garrett Thomas would finish in second while posting a third place finish would be the Don Emory owned Jacknut Apparel/ MASCO Petroleum #11E mount piloted by Ariel Biggs. Shoreline driver Hannah Lindquist and her #3H machine would finish in fourth and behind her in fifth was the MASCO Petroleum #44 Beast of Jeremy Miller from Elma.
